What can volunteers achieve? Something truly lasting.

When Kenward Trust's original chapel fell into disrepair, long-standing volunteers Sandra Belton and Hazel Sinden were determined to create a new space for worship, reflection and spiritual support.

Through two years of fundraising, supported by generous donations, coffee mornings and community events, their vision became a reality. Volunteers also helped transform the chapel into the welcoming space it is today.

Now, the chapel provides a peaceful sanctuary for residents, staff, volunteers and visitors - a symbol of hope, faith and the power of community.

We're still reflecting on a wonderful Volunteers' Week celebration held at Kenward Trust last Thursday.

It was a fantastic opportunity for residents, staff and volunteers to come together and recognise the people who generously give their time to support our community. The day was filled with conversation, appreciation and a shared sense of connection.

Our volunteers play an important role in helping us create positive change and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication and kindness.

Thank you to every volunteer who helps make Kenward Trust a place of hope, recovery and opportunity.

We are deeply saddened to hear this news, and our thoughts are with everyone affected.

Tragedies like this are a stark reminder of the serious impact ketamine can have on young people, their families, and those around them. At Kenward Trust, we are increasingly seeing the challenges this brings, and how important it is that people can access support at the right time.

No one should have to reach crisis point before they can access help.

If you or someone you care about needs help or support with ketamine use, you can contact us confidentially at [email protected] or call 01622 812603.

We were pleased to feature on BBC Radio Kent’s “Make a Difference” segment last week, highlighting the growing demand for our Kenward Trust Street Reach service.

We are currently appealing for toiletry donations to support people facing financial hardship.
